Michigan Criminal Defense Lawyer Paul J. Tafelski Explain CDL Violations in Michigan
Sep 23, 2022
September 23, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - Michigan criminal defense lawyer Paul J. Tafelski releases a new article (https://www.michigandefenselaw.com/cdl-violations.html) explaining the various CDL violations in Michigan. The lawyer mentions that the legal implications of a conviction for a traffic violation are a burden upon most Michigan drivers, especially if their job involves driving. State laws for those who are holding a commercial driver's license or CDL are extremely strict and are punished more seriously.
“As a licensee, a suspension due to a CDL violation may also affect your future in the profession. The need for a strong motor vehicle offenses attorney is critical. While a conventional traffic ticket may mean a fine, CDL violations subject commercial drivers to license suspension and other penalties. The consequences depend upon the type of offense.” the Michigan criminal defense lawyer says.
The lawyer explains that a finding of a “major” violation of the law can result in a CDL disqualification that can last for a year. A second offense is a lifetime disqualification. Whether a person is driving their own vehicle or a commercial vehicle, refusing to take a chemical test for alcohol consumption, leaving the scene of an accident, driving a commercial vehicle while under suspension, and other violations can still lead to the disqualification of a CDL.
Attorney Paul Tafelski says that Violations in a non-commercial vehicle are typically not included in serious traffic violations. A serious violation includes such acts as speeding, reckless driving, or erratic lane changes.
According to the defense lawyer. “Certain regulations apply only to CDL holders, but a violation may result in license suspension or jail time. These offenses may be carrying an oversized load without a permit, improper logging of trip data, and grade restrictions on steep hills. In addition, it’s unlawful to possess more than one CDL in your home and in additional states. You risk losing all of the licenses, incarceration, and fines.”
Lastly, the lawyer emphasizes the importance of having a skilled lawyer when facing charges that can result in the disqualification of a CDL. An experienced lawyer may be able to help the defendant understand their rights and protect their freedom.
